the only solution for this is to set firewall rules for accepting the ssh2 connections from the right one ethernet on the bridge port (INPUT and OUTPUT rules). Bridging is not working if you assign a IP address to eth interface directly. Interface must be in 0.0.0.0 promisc mode. Other one possibility is to add a network card (eth2), connect it to the network from which you want to manage the bridge and assign the ip address to it.
